While it is encouraging to see Democrats are reaching out to conservatives on pro-life issues, one has to wonder where the motivation lies...

Washington DC, Apr. 26, 2005 (CNA) - Senator Hillary Clinton has declined to meet with a coalition of pro-life organizations for the last two months.

The Christian Defense Coalition says it is very disappointed since the senator had publicly stated a few months ago that she was interested in finding common ground and opening dialogue with people who oppose abortion.

“It now seems that the statements Senator Clinton made, concerning finding common ground on abortion, were politically motivated and not sincere,” said Rev. Patrick Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition.

Mahoney charges that she made these statements with the political race to the White House in mind.
